Excerpt from Schultze and Sevenoak's Plane and Solid Geometry

The introduction of many applied problems. These problems have been selected and arranged so as to increase the interest of the student, without sacrificing in the least the disciplinary value of the subject. Many such problems are given in the appendix.

The arrangement of the propositions and the terminology are in accord with the best modern usage. Thus, statements and reasons have been separated and placed in parallel vertical columns, the term congruent and the corresponding sym bol are introduced and applied consistently, etc.

Many of the diagrams have been improved. The construction lines are drawn completely for most problems, graphical modes are employed for pointing out important facts, and many dia grams have been otherwise improved.

Thanks are due to Dr. J. Kahn and Mr. W. S. Schlauch for assistance in reading the proof and for helpful suggestions.
